Anna Black, The Girl Who Lived. Book 4 (to be edited)

Chapter 29

Anna's POV

I looked in the mirror as I did my hair, and put on some makeup. I tried to cover my neck as much as I could with the hood of my robe. I had looked a lot better than I did three days ago, but I still was pretty bruised. I sighed, and realized something... I had made a noise, was my voice back?!

"My voice is back!" I said excitedly, but it came out really quietly. I left the girls dorm, and went to the common room. I went over to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, and gave them a small smile.

"Hi Anna, how are you feeling?" Hermione asked.

"I'm better-"

"You're voice is back!" Ron cut me off, and I smiled. Then, I had an idea...

"Harry, I need to talk to you."

"Okay, what's up?"

"Its...about Voldemort... Can we talk alone?"

"Um, sure I guess. We'll see you two later," Harry said, and we walked out of the common room. I led him to an abandoned classroom, out of earshot and sight from everyone. My heart was pounding, and I was extremely nervous...

"So, did you have an image from Voldemort or something-"

"I lied, what I need to talk to you about has nothing to do with Voldemort. Actually I need to ask you something..."

"Yes?" he asked, staring at me intently with his emerald green eyes. Wow, this was going to be a lot harder than I expected. I took a deep breath, and looked up at him.

"I want you to answer honestly, either answer will be fine... Okay, I wanted to ask if...well, if you still had any feelings for me..." I trailed off, looking at him nervously. He didn't say anything for a few seconds. Then, he pinned me against the wall, and kissed me hard. It was the most passionate, amazing kiss ever. My heart was racing, but I didn't care. After a little while, we broke apart. He quickly backed away from me, and stared at me wide-eyed.

"I'm so sorry... I shouldn't have done that..." he breathless, but avoiding my gaze. I smiled, and gave him a quick kiss. He blushed a deep shade of red, and smiled.

"Don't be sorry, that was the best kiss ever."

"Wait, so does that mean...you're-"

"In love with you? Yes."

"But...since when?"

"I never stopped, I've always loved you, and I always will."

"But, you were with Cedric, did that mean nothing?"

"Well, to be honest, I think I was in love with him too-"

"But you just said-"

"I know, I know...I guess I kind of went out with him to try to get over you..."

"So, are we back together?"

"Yes, but I have a small favor to ask?"

"Sure."

"Um, well... I was wondering if we could keep this a secret... just for a little while. You know Rita Skeeter will be obsessing over the whole 'love triangle' thing if I go out with you this soon since I just broke up with Cedric..."

"Yeah, I understand... That can work, aslong as I'm still with you."

"Of course, I just really can't stand all that drama," I said, and he nodded. But I noticed there was something wrong with him, and that something was on his mind...

"What's wrong Harry?"

"Nothing..."

"You can tell me."
